It is no exaggeration to describe the C# language and its associated environment, the .NET Framework, as the most important new technology for developers in many years. .NET provides a new environment within which you can develop almost any Windows-based or web-based application, while C# is a new programming language designed specifically to work with .NET.


Entirely revised and updated for the Golden Release of .NET, Professional C# 2nd Edition is the ideal introduction to the C# language and the .NET Framework, and will become an indispensable companion for any user of C# and .NET.


Offering an unparalleled breadth and depth of coverage, this book provides the information that you need to learn the key concepts of the C# language, and then takes you on to a complete exploration of programming the .NET Framework with C#, so that you are ready to develop powerful C# applications in the .NET environment.
Topics covered include:


How to program in the object-oriented C# language

2.0 out of 5 stars Hodgepodge put together by too many authors July 25 2002
By "brianj55"
Format:Paperback
Wrox was slammed by the user groups for these books with ten authors. They've gotten smarter: now they only put one photograph on the cover. But that misses the point; the book is still more a collection of essays by different writers than a book.

There are parts of this book that are fairly good, but overall it does not cover the material coherently, and it is 25-50% bigger than it should be for the material covered.

There are better choices elsewhere. I just posted a review for the O'Reilly book, which I think is a much better choice.

By Ajay007
Format:Paperback
This book is fine,, though I won't say its a great book..
the really good C# book I found was Inside C#,
some chapters stand out but in some places this bok just loses flow.
The best book for C# is C#:Primer Plus.

2.0 out of 5 stars Too many cooks spoil the food . July 14 2003
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
Hi,

There's a lot of mixed reviews about this book . The table contents promises to give a lot of information which it does but not efficiently . I am C++ programmer ,the intial chapters are easy to understand since they are basic oops that I already know .. and the intial chapters on windows and asp was good I felt becoz I had worked on my own before I went thro this . After that it was tooo much of information not written well .In the sense you just keep reading without undestanding half of it becoz the author's expect you to know all the concepts and they confuse what you know by puttting it in words that are so confusing . The flow of thought if missing ...

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book for new comers
The book is a great book for new comers to the C# language and to the .NET platform itself as well. It is kind of scattered about, not very much flow to it. Read more

Perhaps I'm writing this prematurely, as I'm not even close to being done with the book. But so far, I've found it to be a good book. Read more

This book does have good information if you are new to C# but do not expect to get the examples off the web as the book promises. Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars Not up to Wrox standards
I have come to expect great things of Wrox books. I was hooked by Robert Vieira's Professional SQL Server Programming. This book is not up to that standard. Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars Worst book on C#
Worst book on C# currently available. I had so many problems with syntax errors in the examples. Don't waste your money on this book.
